Not content with just one model railway I've been building a second smaller one in 009 gauge with DCC power and these are a few shots of the layout in it's still uncompleted state. Baseboard is 4' x 2' and the Bachmann Baldwin is fitted with a Zimo decoder and Digitrains sound. For anyone interested in the buildings, the two cottages are by Petite Properties and the water tower, station building and goods shed were scratch built by Danowen Models, who can be contacted here; roygoodacre1953@aol.com

Love it, authentic running speed and grey colouring for the rural area, sounds add realism....wonderful

I love that your trains runs relatively slow ❤

@acw71000 5 лет назад

Thanks, the DCC does make for great slow running. Having said that this loco ran really well at slow speeds on DC

Very impressive Austin, the sound chip in that little Baldwin, is superb, and the whole layout is looking wonderfully authentic.

@acw71000 5 лет назад

Many thanks Bob. I'm definitely a convert to sound in the locos now and the Baldwin is such a lovely model and came with the tiny speaker already mounted in the bunker. I've got the Quarry Hunslets on order so hoping they are as good. Trust you liked the name of the layout!

@TheStephengthompson 5 лет назад

Brilliant Austin, you’ve done a cracking job with the superb scenery plus the loco sounds finished it off nicely.

@acw71000 5 лет назад

Thanks Steve, I'm quite pleased with it so far and that sound does add a lot of interest

@rjas365 5 лет назад

What a relaxing video, Austin, and what a level of attention to detail! Brilliant sound on the loco and the added value of filming in private means no distracting loud chatter. If it's this good when unfinished, I look forward to seeing the completed version. Kind regards, Bob.

@acw71000 5 лет назад

Thanks Bob, glad you found it relaxing as that's the sort of feel I'm after with this layout. Not far off completion now actually, just some more little details here and there. Good point about filming at exhibitions as the noise level can often be very distracting

@battlescalewargamebuilding4316 5 месяцев назад

Does the train disappear behind the background before reappearing?

@acw71000 5 месяцев назад

Yes, the backscene is the length of the baseboard and there is a loop at the back to hold one train while another passes

Wow I didn't see this coming, another excellent layout. Nice to have it DCC Sound too. Bet a little Simplex loco would look nice on there. Regards James

@acw71000 5 лет назад

Thanks James, I'm quite pleased with the way it's turned out despite having to alter the original plan a bit. I must admit the sound is great and want it on the Harz layout as well now! Just waiting for those Bachmann Quarry Hunslets!

@peterbrackenbury 5 лет назад

Very nice Austin, reminds me of the 009 layout (Bryngoch) I built several years ago and later sold to make way for an N Gauge layout (Middle Elmton). Given the excellent ready to run stock now available I am very tempted to have another go at 009.

@acw71000 5 лет назад

Thanks Peter, there is so much available now both ready to run and in kit form. This is only a simple little layout but it's been an enjoyable project.

@northwesttrainsmodels 5 лет назад

very nice job, i really like the buildings on the layout and loco sounds great with the digitrains sound i was considering going dcc with my 009 but with most of my locos been kit built on old graham farish or arnold chassis it would be to much hassle

@acw71000 5 лет назад

Thanks very much. I thought I'd try DCC for this little layout and it does allow for some great slow running. Trouble is there aren't a whole lot of locos in 009 that are ready for DCC. The Baldwin was just a straight plug in chip, not sure I'm up to any hard wiring! I'll put a link in the description for the buildings.

@robertcrawford4702 Год назад

Love the layout , compact yet full of interest, excellent modelling. Thank you for sharing. Did you use any Peco setrack on the layout or is it all Stereamline?

@acw71000 Год назад

Thanks for your kind comments. It's all Peco Streamline track although the plan is based on an 00 Setrack layout

@robertcrawford364 Год назад

@@acw71000 many thanks for the information it's a big help!

@spiket4 2 года назад

Nice little layout have you used the Peco starter set as a base for the track work.

@acw71000 2 года назад

I had seen the Peco Setrack plan 5 for 00 gauge and thought it would be good in 009 and adapted it slightly. With hindsight I wish I'd included a run round loop at the station but I'm hoping to build another modified version before long. Thanks for watching

@stevetaylor821 4 года назад

The trees are amazing! How do you make them or are they bought?

@acw71000 4 года назад

Thanks for watching Steve. The trees are made with sea foam and then using the cheapest hairspray you can find (as they are more sticky) spray the sea foam trees and then I used Noch leaves (ref.07152) sprinkled over followed by more hairspray to seal them You can then add other scatter materials over to blend with the Noch leaves. They seem to last a long time, some of the leaves will drop off but its easy to just redo them in time. I found Woodland Scenics burnt grass scatter worked well in conjunction with the Noch

Can I ask please, what DCC control system you are using here? Thanks

@acw71000 3 года назад

When the two videos were filmed I was using an NCE Powercab which I can certainly recommend for ease of use. I'm currently using a Gaugemaster Prodigy Advance

Delightful. A good eye for detail and the overall style. Do you know how many hours work this was?

@beachdancer 3 года назад

@@acw71000 I have a plan for a steam age small shunting layout. I have set out a full scale plan by cutting paper to the size of the points and track so I can visualise operations and buildings. I would love to create something to the quality of your model, but feel daunted by the challenge.

@acw71000 3 года назад

This was only the second model railway I'd attempted after 30 odd years away from the hobby so I definitely wouldn't feel daunted. I feel this is an improvement on my earlier Harz themed layout as you learn as you go along and make mistakes along the way but it's all part of the fun

@beachdancer 3 года назад

@@acw71000 Yesterday I took the first real step by ordering some goods wagons of various types. I couldn't order track as the shops seem to be sold out. I don't yet have track or locos or a controller, no baseboard, no materials and few tools. The journey has begun, but I don't know where the train stops. Any suggestions?

@acw71000 3 года назад

First step should be the baseboard, then that will encourage you to continue! A lot of products are difficult to find at present because of the pandemic and most items are made in China. You will need to decide whether to use flexible track or setrack and also whether you want DC or DCC power. Gaugemaster controllers are good for DC and a good basic controller for DCC is the NCE Powercab. Getting the baseboard done is the first step and then you can put your paper plans onto it and see if everything is as you want

@chris_7802_ 2 года назад

Brilliant layout is the station building scratch built or bought?

@acw71000 2 года назад

Thank you. The station building was by Danowen Models. If you have a look in the video description I've put contact details for Roy there. He often sells them on Ebay too so worth a look there
